Introduction
Traveling is a wonderful thing that everyone should do a bit of throughout their life. It opens up a whole new world of memories, experiences and knowledge. But for as wonderful as it is, the planning stage of a trip can be quite the headache with booking flights, finding rental cars, deciding on where to go and what to see and do and booking hotels. The latter, in particular, is one of the most difficult things about booking any trip. Hotels are sometimes all booked up certain times of the year especially if there is a conference or large event going on when you plan to go there. They are also priced very differently and the prices change so frequently that you can see a great deal one hour and not be able to find it an hour later. Another problem with booking hotels is getting one in the city or area of your choice. If you only need a hotel room to be close to the airport so you can catch a flight on time, this can be tricky. A hotel near airport may be advertised as being very close to the airport but in reality, it is not close at all. Below are some tips on how to find a hotel near airport that suits all of your needs and is, in fact, a hotel near airport.
Step 1
Before searching for a hotel near airport, make sure you know what airport you are going to, what amenities and services you want in a hotel near airport such as airport shuttle and continental breakfast and how close you want to be to the airport.
Step 2
The first step in searching for a hotel near airport should be an internet search to get your bearings on what is and is not available in the area of the airport you will be at. Use a search engine and sort through all the results and use websites that allow you to enter travel information including nearest airport and see what comes up for that.
Step 3
Once you find some results for a hotel near airport, pick out the most useful results and work with those. Now you can make some phone calls.

Step 4
The next step in finding a hotel near airport is to start calling the hotels you have your list narrowed down to.
